"Sketches" is right, there was no really specific nitty-gritty kind of policy ideas she put forth, unlike Bern.

I'm not an idealist, but with Sanders I can say he supports universal health care, free college for qualified students, and so on. A person can comfortably say "Well, he'll try to do X and Y, even if he may only get parts of each".

I just don't feel that way with Hillary, and I feel baffles that people that consider themselves 'very liberal' would.

    say he supports universal health care,
-Knowing some history about Hillary wouldn't necessitate her overtly stating that she supports universal health care. She was one the first to attempt it at the national level. She kinda paved the way.

I'm. It a HC fan, but her history tells us a lot about her. Most of us know this history. Bernie has to put out specifics because most people don't know him.

Last I checked, his website didn't have a lot of specifics. It's great to say I want money out of politics, for example, but it's a much different thing to say , "and this is how I will do it."

That's what I'm waiting to hear from all candidates. We will see if any say it. Normally, they don't.
